I miss my Bolting, and I liked Eclipse's GBA animation with the slashing mini nova thing.

All GBA animations were amazing. Hey, even Radiant Dawn had some sweet tome animations. Awakening kind of lacks the grandiose animations I miss, though there's nothing wrong with not being so fancy.

This is how I felt about the magic triangle, since in the end the only change was an accuracy change, and in the end, resistance was a bigger factor. I did like how it ended up restricting sages in RD to a specific magic type though, adding another purpose to having three types of anima magic.

Yeah, though not to the insane degree of Shadow Dragon resistance growths (and Heroes of Light and Shadow, I guess), Mages in Awakening seemed to have lackluster resistance. In fact, not too many characters had exceptional resistance in their starting class.

The GBA animations are still my favourite by far, I never grew tired of watching them. The Awakening animations are so long, I skip most of them.

Generals and Paladins are definitely great ones. Lyn, Eliwood and Hector's crit animations with the Sol Katti, Durandal, and Armads were absurdly amazing too. In terms of tomes, Apocalypse was fun to watch, especially coming from Ray, who can actually double stuff with it on occasion.

I have been reading up and I cried so much. This game is filled with SOBS isn't it. D:

Each game has its emotional moments. While I've not played it, Heroes of Light and Shadow has quite an emotional scene in a later chapter.

Hm? I will just look it up later since I prolly won't see that but like. FE:A has a long list of sobs.

Ex of what I seen. Spoiler:- FE:A:

The fact that the kids come back from the future to save it. And that some of them appear as enemy units. Resulting in a possibility of them coming back in time only to result with their own parents murdering them.

It's not misrepresenting it. There is a lot of stuff. And I've seen a lot of the game. The game has many sob-worthy moments in my opinion. But hey whatever. What people find sad varies depending on the person :T

For instance, what you referenced, it's nothing like that at all in the game. Your encounters with the children characters are not sad at all, it's not only clear who they are, but clear how to recruit them. Most of them are also pretty funny. Reading about it and playing it are two very different things.

I'm not saying the encounters are sad. I'm saying what is sad if you do certain things. Funny? Um. Kay? But whatever. I'm not bothering :T

edit Spoiler:- Okay:

What I sad was sad is if you MURDER the child with parent instead of recruiting them. Do I really need to play a game to see how that is depressing? No

Sure, if you start adding in things that are never explored you can make anything sad, but once you play the game you'll understand.

I think it has a lot to do with how the player takes (or is expected to take) a certain event. Like, in Shadow Dragon, I personally don't care if 80% of the cast dies (other than me being a completionist), because of the absence of personality. Bring PoR into the mix, I'd feel terrible if I let Rolf or anyone else die. Once you look at the game as being just a game, though, then events don't feel quite as emotional.

So. I need to play the game to know how sad. Or how you say. Funny is it. When you let the parent kill the child? Sorry but. Did you read what I said correctly? >.<"

No one is going to go around and kill units they're trying to recruit unless they get joy out of those things, of course.

Fire Emblem's never really been a game that pulls on the heart strings for me, I really enjoy them and I like a lot of the characters, but I can't really recall any sad moments in any of the games, they just don't have the opportunity to build up a truly sad moment, most of the game is gameplay. Which is fine in my books.

Gah. Never mind. You missed my point. There is much more I can add, but whatever. Like I said everyone feels differently on everything. And I'm just stopping. Obviously what I find sad is different by a longshot.

Emmeryn never ceases to rip my heart out, I tear up a lot for her scenes, but, otherwise, at least for Awakening, I was never really made sad.

The problem is that you're putting something tragic into scenarios that aren't really that tragic. There are only one, maybe two scenarios where a parent could even possibly murder their child, but as Hydrohs stated, that would only happen if you wanted it to. Knowing who and how to recruit is actually fairly straightforward, considering if a non-commander unit is named, you can recruit them, so knowing that the child can be recruited is a no-brainier.

I have claimed Joltik. Deal with it.
